Lighthouse -

Sometimes it’s better to avoid the light.

The prompt was to write about the image given below

Lighthouse

I walk run stumble across

A terrain desolate and pitch dark

Towards a lighthouse far away

Where moonlit waves crash on rocks

Maybe there’s someone, who may help

Bright light might scare, those on my tail

Soulless hideous creatures vile

Crawling out from darkest depths

Spawn of a high, hallucinating night

And a full moon’s moody spells

They want to catch, tear me apart

Shred me bare, to my bones

With fear I raise, my sprinting pace

Towards the light and ocean waves

Suddenly the creatures seem to stop

Fall behind in their tracks

Relieved greatly, I bang on the door

A faceless man, without nose eyes and ears

Opened it and gravely said

Light’s been dimming, fires falling short

No soul has lately, reached this far

Only the doomed, can knock on the door

Where creatures fear to tread

I cowered in fear, a deathly chill spread

The faceless man spoke again

The bright light that, you ran towards

Burns on souls, doomed and condemned

Arriving here out of breath

Hounded by hideous creatures
